What if they would be considered as Non Human Intelligence?
- keepamovin 2y agoCertainly they are. So when Karl Nell says "a higher form of Non Human Intelligence" is interacting with humanity, I doubt he means ants. When Tim Gallaudet says "advanced non human intelligence" are interacting with our assets in the oceans - I doubt he means dolphins. Tho both are undoubtedly NHI. The actual "tech civilizational level" NHI are often described as insectoid. Interesting to consider that a collectively intelligent ant species could proceed through evolution into a multiplanet technologically super-advanced one.

- keepamovin 2y agoThank you. I think that’s the second time someone has recommended that to me on here! I will add to my Amazon list now :)
- Rygian 2y ago"Les Fourmis" (translated as "Empire of the Ants") is a fun read by French writer Bernard Werber.
- BurningFrog 2y agoThe ants in a colony has mostly identical DNA. So you can think of it as a single organism that has a "distributed" body. From that perspective, the individual ants correspond to cells or organs, and it becomes both less and more fantastic :)
- v3ss0n 2y agoInteresting, may be that's why they can communicate so efficiently and wouldn't mind to work hard for the greater good.
